Episode 53 Show Notes for Interview with Barby Ingle of the International Pain Foundation - pt 2

I have a very important topic for you today…and one that is very near and close to my heart…one which affects me as well as millions of people each and every day – and that is how to cope with chronic pain…be it from injury, as in my case, or from hereditary diseases or any number of a myriad of causes…one which many people have a hard time understanding – even very close family members…

On the line with us today is Barby Ingle from the International Pain Foundation…

I like the term she uses, “Become the Chief of Staff of your own medical team.” I ask her to explain what she means by that…

I know, for myself as well as others, I’m sure, it seems we get that “look” from doctors when we are trying to explain the pain we are feeling and they are trying to tell us “our tests indicate there is nothing wrong.” In other words…they feel we may be “making things up” or “over exaggerating” what we are truly feeling. I ask Barby how she thinks we should respond to those situations…

What about managing with pain killers?

Wouldn’t some call us “hypochondriacs” or “doctor shopping” for doing things like that?

Give us tips on how to “become experts” on our illnesses.

What type of work does the International Pain Foundation do? How can it benefit our listeners who are suffering like we have been talking about?

Can you tell our listeners how they can get ahold of you or get some help from you organization?

I want to personally thank Barby Ingle so much for taking time out of her busy schedule to talk with us today. I know, from personal experience, that pain sometimes is more than we can bear alone…but sometimes we do feel all alone. So I highly encourage our listeners that are suffering with pain or know of someone who may be suffering with chronic pain…to reach out to Barby Ingle and the International Pain Foundation.

Episode 51 Show Notes for Anna Aquino Interview #2

Well, today, we have a very special guest to our program. Anna Aquino with Dove Eagle Ministries has written a new book, just released, called “A Marriage in Time.”

Anna Aquino has appeared on TBN numerous times, she writes for Charisma as well…although she approaches these topics from a charismatic perspective – she was raised denominationally – so she can be relevant across the board…

Welcome to the program – Anna M. Aquino!

Anna, last time we talked about your book, “An Ember in Time.” And at the end of the program, you gave a little tease about your next book “A Marriage in Time” and told us it would be released soon.

Well, guess what I seen on Amazon? That’s right, your book! And on Amazon, they wrote the summary as this…and I quote:

In a time where Lacy Stevens is plagued with doubts, impulses, and stress:

ONE DIVINE ENCOUNTER that thrusts her into Biblical history, will change her life.

ONE TEMPTATION that ripples from her past, will force her to stop hiding behind pretense.

AND ONE ANGELIC ENCOUNTER will prepare her for her future.

Now, tell us what that means and give us the pretense of the book…

How long did it take you to write this book?

What was the release date again?

Any feedback on your book yet?

I already mentioned the book is on Amazon…any other outlets that people can order the book from?

SO, I guess the next question for you is: What’s next? What is your next project you are working on?

Ok…well, folks…thank you for listening to us today…I would just love it if you could hit SUBSCRIBE so we can keep you posted on new interviews…

Episode 50 – When A Good Church Goes Bad – Interview with Casey Sebella

Pastor Casey Sebella is the pastor of great church located in Waterbury, Connecticut, “Motion Church.” I love that name as it signifies “continual movement – never idle” – Amen!

Pastor Casey Sabella has started a ministry called “Ministers Toolbox” – which a special place for pastors to connect, find advice, encouragement and resources to help them do the most important job in the world – to minister, teach and equip believers in the Word of God.

Pastor Casey has written numerous books and e-books – all available on Amazon or Kindle…but the book I want to talk to you about today, is “When A Good Church Goes Bad.” Just for the people listening, “When a Good Church Goes Bad” is a book that talks about things that many in the church do not want to talk about…especially pastors who are doing this to the people…SPIRITUAL ABUSE!

Background on Pastor Casey and his ministry…

“When A Good Church Goes Bad” book

Examples of “Spiritual Abuse”

Difference between a “church with problems” and a “problem church.”

If a person leaves a problem church – does that solve the problem?

If a person were to leave an abusive church – should they tell the leadership first, or just stop attending?

What about these same people attending a new church – should they discuss the issues with their new church leadership?

“The Book Club for Ministers”

THE LIGHTENING ROUND:

Why does the pastor keep talking about “tithes” all of the time? Surely the church doesn’t need the money as much as I do… How do you respond to that?

How do you handle strife in your ministry?

-“How would you handle someone in your ministry that was caught stealing ministry funds?”

-“How would you handle a senior ministry staff member being caught in adultery?

-“How would you explain these things to the church?”

“In your opinion what is the number one demonic force today?”

Last Question: If you woke up tomorrow morning and realized your entire life was a dream…but yet you were able to keep all the experiences and complete memory of everything that happened, what would you do, how would you go about doing it and why?

Episode 49 Show Notes for Carl David Interview

“How My Family Survived Suicide”

My guest today is Carl David, author of “Bader Field: How My Family Survived Suicide.” Carl’s brother committed suicide when Carl was just 16 years old. Since then, he has been on a mission to save lives…even if it’s just one.

Carl fill us in on his background and what happened to his brother and how that impacted him and his family?

I told Carl that a very good friend of mine committed suicide just this past winter (2016). Although I had not spoken to him in about 3 years or so, since my retirement from the police department I was on, I always say that if you lined up 100 people and told me to pick the 10 that would NEVER consider that option, my friend would have been one of the ten. By that, I mean he was always talking about his faith; he was always there to help people, etc. So it took everybody by shock when it happened. I talked to his supervisor, who is also a good friend of mine…and he had no clue that there were any issues. None.

Carl explains that in many cases, that is the normal perspective of most people. But if you ‘know what to look for” – there may be some clues to what they are planning.

Were there any signs or clues that you saw or that realized you saw once you became educated in what to look for, concerning your brother?

How did you become so involved in being a suicide prevention advocate?

What are the current statistics on the number of suicides in America? What about “attempted suicides?” Do they even track those numbers?

What should someone do if they suspect a person they care about is considering taking their own life?

Can you tell us a little about your book?

Do you travel to do seminars and things like that?

Well folks, I hope you have learned as much as I have today. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problems. Unfortunately, it is an attempt for a solution that offers no chance for a “do over”…or to ever change your mind.

Carl, you have given us a lot to think about…my prayer is that God will continue to open doors for you; to give a platform to you that will save somebody who is contemplating suicide; that the eyes and ears of someone close to them will recognize it and, through God’s Mercy, will be able to make a successful intervention and save that person’s life.

Please order Carl’s book, “Bader Field: How My Family Survived Suicide” – available on Amazon and his website.

Nikola Dimitrov Interview

Author of “The Four in One Gospel of Jesus” a fascinating book…I’ve got my copy and it is so good, I have made it part of my daily Bible study time…in addition to the normal Bible study time I have…

The format of this book is to consolidate all four gospels into one, chronological walk through of the Bible. Nikola has put together the gospels in a such a manner that they all flow on a type of “time line” for reading. There is no jumping around from one event to another. This book is so good, I actually have to force myself to put it down…otherwise, I would read it almost straight through like I would any other book.

I begin by having Nikola give his background and ministry. Basically, he was saved right after the fall of Communism in the early 1990’s. He noticed he was having a hard time understanding the Bible as written, noticing all of the discrepancies between the Gospels. He was led of the Lord to do this work – and it a great work!

Nickola explains to us how he got started in writing this book?

Nikola discussed how he actually wrote “The Four in One Gospel.”

It took him ten years to write it and then ten years as a self published book before he was contacted by Nordskog Publishing. Now, after another year of revisions, the book is being released by Nordskog Publishing. So, in actuality, this is a 21 year project!

This book is printed in English and Bulgarian.

Nokala discusses his primary motivation in writing the book.

Nikola discusses his opinion on what makes this book so unique. (And, in MY opinion – he’s right)!

The book is available on Amazon. (See the link at the bottom of the page).

Episode 46 - Show Notes for Presley Acuna Interview

“The Day and The Hour”

Welcome everyone - everywhere, you are listening to Episode #46 of the Everything Church Related Podcast!

While you’re listening, shoot me out an email at bob@everythingchurchrelated.com and let me know you were listening to the podcast today. This is a pre-recorded program, so we cannot answer your questions live and on the air…but I will ask your questions on future programs. That email again is brotherbob@ftfm.org

On today’s program…I want to introduce to you PRESLEY ACUNA…the author of a book titled, “The Day and the Hour.” This book is an apocalyptic THRILLER…and I’m am telling you, from what I have briefly read…and – well, I’ve added this book to my “Wish List” and will be reading it, probably about the time you are hearing this broadcast. PRESLEY – WELCOME TO OUR PROGRAM…

Basically, this book examines what would happen if a Messiah were to appear NOW on the modern world stage…It starts in Times Square on New Years Eve in the year 2029…as some crazy guy starts swinging a burning club – yelling and demanding that the revelers around him immediately REPENT of their sins…and suddenly, an entire crowd is swinging these burning torches!...hundreds of people are set on fire…AND THAT’s JUST THE BEGINNING…AMEN!

Why did you write this book, “The Day and the Hour.”

What role do you think Religion plays in today’s society?

Why write about a False Messiah?

Why did you place the fictional event so far into the future? Was it so the book was not going to be labeled as a modern take on the news?

In your book, you have a “NEW POPE” that has succeeded the current Pope, Pope Frances. Why?

I know you tried to get this published through the traditional channels…why did you make the decision just to “Go for it” and self publish the book?

How long did it take you to research the book? (That’s the other thing folks…this book is SPOT ON with it’s in depth accuracy…and some of the photos!) Did you actually travel to these locations discussed in your book?

Tell us more about the cover and some of the pictures…

What is it you are trying to communicate and tell the people with this book? What is the underlying motive?

Did writing this book change your views about Religion?

Now – you started “Percussion Publishing” – correct?

What other books and works has “Percussion Publishing” taken on?

What project are you working on right now?”

What kind of response have you received – from ministry “experts” – the Vatican, etc. because of this book?

If our listeners have questions…they want to reach out to you – maybe to ask you to do other interviews, etc…can you provide contact information for them?

And your book…how can they buy a copy of your book?

I WANT TO ENCOURAGE ALL OF OUR LISTENERS TO GET OUT THERE AND GET A COPY OF THIS BOOK – I have read “The Day and the Hour” and – it is one of the few books I have read that has captivated me in every chapter! “The Day and the Hour” – get it today.

Introduction:

Sharon Bolt lives in the United Kingdom, and has been an entrepreneur for over 16 years. She has co-authored TWO highly acclaimed books (links at the bottom of this page. She has contributed to more than 40 different national newspapers, magazines, television and radio stations and has received over 2 million dollars in FREE publicity and FREE advertising. She had been featured in a BBC documentary and also has had a regular program on BBC radio since 2008. Sharon has developed a unique way to write attention grabbing press releases that capture the attention of producers, researchers, etc., in order to help you get booked on their programs.

She worked in Complementary Natural Healing Therapy. She adopted two dogs Parsan Russel Terriers from the same litter.

She was successful in doing that, so she started sharing her methods with others and soon became a “Professional Dog Trainer.” Soon she was featured on a national radio program on BBC Radio 2 in the UK. With no prior media exposure, she devoted herself to learning how to get on the radio as a featured guest on “dog training.” Sharon explains how she developed that unique email, explaining her method and how she could benefit the radio audience. Her email caught the attention of the research assistant and, after a short interview, she was booked and did her first interview with four million listeners!

Not having a true website devoted to “Dog Training” – she had to develop that area of her business. She did not even have an email address! She made the transition to “Expert Dog Trainer” and developed the website, had a “Free PDF” for people that visited her website. She expanded her interviews to TV, radio, magazines.

Her business continued to expand and her sign-ups continued increase – almost all of it from her interviews! She was considered an EXPERT in her niche – even though she was self taught and had made a transition from her career to this “new career.” People seen her as being very credible because she could use the interviews as “references” to build credibility.

She recommends building your “topic” to three or five steps that can be explain your “target market” pain points quickly. You need to find the contact person for the media program you are trying to get an interview. By focusing on finding the key person that handles all of the interview requests for the show you want to be on, you now have an opportunity to have your email read.

This allows you to have the credibility of an expert author without the time consuming trouble of writing an entire book.
